Like a flavor of gum or a type of shoe
We used to laugh about the stupidest things
Now I'm left with none of you
Just the grieving of what I once thought was true
The dead wishes and promises we both made
The memories of pain and hurt were the first to fade
I just remember the good
How you treated me like a man should
Your smile is seared into my brain
The fire of our love still burns like a flame
I'm consumed by the lies and deceit I've conjured
That our love was forever and could never be blurred
I need to break free from the chains I've locked shut
I want to let go, I want to be free, BUT....
It's always the but that holds me back"But I truly love him still, that is a fact"
"But he was the best friend I ever had"
"But he really loved me and without him I'm sad"
You should never say never, but I still always say but
I make excuses for my steadfast love, for my deepest rut
And until I can admit to myself and him
That we will never try our love over again
I'll be stuck in this muck of hurtful lust
For the one I loved and thought I could always trust
But it's me who I should invest my trust in
Not a man, not a feeling, not my struggling sin
I miss you and I hate that we fell apart as abrupt as a drunken car crash
I wish you and I could have made it last
I still grieve and ask God to heal my heart
I wish that our end never had a start
